Arrival and First Impressions:

As we drove up to Tambuli, the lush landscaping and stunning architectural design immediately caught our attention. The resort’s contemporary yet tropical vibe set the stage for what promised to be an unforgettable stay. The friendly staff warmly welcomed us, making us feel right at home.

Accommodations:

Our family of three was booked into one of the spacious family suites. The room was impeccably clean and boasted modern amenities that catered to our every need. The soothing color palette and tasteful decor created a serene atmosphere, a perfect backdrop for our birthday celebration.

Fun in the Sun:

Tambuli’s pristine beachfront was the star of the show. The powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters were irresistible, and our little one wasted no time building sandcastles while my husband and I soaked up the sun. We just hoped the resort provides complimentary water sports equipment, like kayaking and paddleboarding, to add an extra layer of adventure to our beach day. But unfortunately, there was none.

Rubber Boardwalk Adventure:

One of the unique features that set Tambuli apart was the rubber boardwalk extending into the sea. A picturesque path that wound its way through the shallow and deep waters, this rubber boardwalk offered a novel experience for our family. With the gentle sea breeze caressing our faces, my husband and I strolled hand in hand while our little one giggled with delight. The boardwalk led us to a point in the middle of the sea, where the water nice enough for our little swimmer to enjoy a splash while we marveled at the panoramic views surrounding us. It was a surreal experience, and the memories we made there will forever be etched in our hearts.

Poolside Paradise:

The resort features multiple pools, each offering a unique experience. Our family spent hours loun ging by the pool, swimming and making a go at the slides, making a splash and creating lasting memories. The expansive pool area is surrounded by lush greenery, providing a tranquil setting for relaxation.

Culinary Delights:

Tambuli’s lunch and dinner options exceeded our expectations. We savored delectable meals at the resort’s restaurants, with a diverse menu that catered to both local and international palates. Except for the breakfast buffet that seemed blah (compared to other 5-star resorts we’ve been to like Shangri-la & Crimson), every bite was a culinary delight.

Free Bike Ride:

Another fantastic perk of our stay at Tambuli was the complimentary bike rentals. Though they didn’t have much space for biking, we still enjoyed it. Exploring the resort’s hidden spaces by bike was a delightful adventure for me and Mahal while Tuz was busy playing in the game room. Enjoying the breeze created an atmosphere of pure joy. It was not just a physical activity but also a wonderful way to bond as a couple amidst the relaxing scenery.

Game Room Extravaganza:

For some indoor fun, Tambuli’s game room proved to be a haven of entertainment. Tuz spent quality time challenging his dad to various games. The game room provided a welcomed escape during the midday heat, and it became a favorite hangout spot for our little one. The laughter and friendly competition made for an enjoyable break from the sun-soaked outdoor activities.

Conclusion:

Tambuli Seaside Resort and Spa has indeed been a relaxing stay, offering not only a luxurious retreat but also a plethora of activities catering to all members of the family. From the rubber boardwalk that led us into the heart of the sea to the joyous bike rides along the shore and the friendly competition in the game room, every moment was filled with fun and laughter. If you’re seeking a family-friendly haven in Mactan, Cebu, include Tambuli on your list. Until our next adventure, stay tuned to momtraneur.com for more travel tales and family escapades!
